Thank you Andy.If I can post a picture of the Disc I have, would you be able to identify where it came from.It has no markings on it.It has a red button in the middle with a screw underneath.The button is red and the screw has a red line painted across it.It is actually 3.5 inches across not 6 inches as I posted earlier.Nothing like being accurate is there?
Is it possible to obtain a copy of the ‘K’ Report?

Thank you all very much.I have looked at my ancient school project again and witnesses reported the plane having a map of England drawn on the nose.Does that identify the aircraft to a particular unit?
I have a souvenir lifted from the plane at the time.It is a disc,about 6 inches across with a red button in the middle and at the back a section of link chain that attached it to something I suppose.The disc is painted light green.It looks like some sort of removable inspection panel but you are the experts!
I have also just remembered that the Rear Gunner was originally buried in Stansted churchyard along with another german airman from a Dornier(?) whose body was recovered from a field right next to South Ash Manor (now a Golf course) after he bailed out and his parachute failed to open.They were both later transfered to Cannock Chase.

Any idea where he is buried/commemorated?

Kev,thats fantastic.I appreciate your help very much.Hopefully someone out there will know what happened.
